Before Instagram Models: The Untouchable Supermodels

Title: The Era of the Untouchables: Why the Supermodels of the '80s and '90s Were Unlike Anything Before or After

There was a time when a woman didn't need a million followers to be famous. She only needed to step onto a runway or appear on a Vogue cover to become immortal. That time was the 1980s and 1990s — the golden era of the supermodel.

They were more than beautiful faces. They were forces of nature. Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Helena Christensen, and Kate Moss didn't just model clothes; they embodied style, mystery, and magnetism. They didn’t have to dance on TikTok or share their breakfast smoothies. They were living, breathing fashion editorials with a commanding presence that spoke louder than any algorithm.

These women didn’t blend in. They stood out. Naomi's fierce walk, Cindy's iconic mole, Linda's ever-changing hair, Kate's rebel energy — each brought something utterly unique. They had edge, elegance, and an aura of untouchability. Designers didn’t just dress them; they built collections around them.

Supermodels of this era transcended fashion. They appeared in music videos, graced magazine covers month after month, and held court on late-night talk shows. They were cultural ambassadors of style, glamour, and strength. And they did it all before social media, when mystery still had value.

Today, we live in the age of accessibility, where models share every aspect of their lives online. While there’s beauty in this new transparency, there was something magnetic about the mystique of the originals. They weren’t trying to be relatable — they were aspirational. They existed in a world just out of reach, and that’s what made them unforgettable.

The supermodels of the '80s and '90s were more than icons. They were an era. And even now, decades later, their influence walks beside every new model who dares to step into the spotlight.

How to Break a Water Fast

As always there's quite a bit of conflicting information out there about how to break a fast. One thing everyone agrees on is that the fast needs to broken slowly and gently. You also need several days to go back to eating normally. For example, if you do a 7 day fast, you need about 3 days of refeeding. On a 10 day fast, you'll need 4-5 days and so on. How you break the fast will make or break the whole experience. If you go right back to your old way of eating, you can easily negate all the benefits of your fast. One school of thought insists on breaking the fast with fruit, more specifically watermelon and then lots of veggies and more fruit. Since my goal is to remain in ketosis, I will be taking a different approach. I will be eating protein, fat and some low-carb veggies, bone broth and lots of water. I would also recommend abstaining from alcohol for at least a few days so you're not overburdening your liver. Listen to your body. Don't force the food if yo...

240 Hour Water Fast Completed

That's 10 whole days for those of you who are bad at math. :) Wow, what an accomplishment. I can't believe that I had the willpower to stick to this. How did I know it was time to break the fast? Hunger returned with a vengeance last night. Also, weight loss has really slowed down in the last couple of days. I guess my body was running out of things to munch on. Well, I could still think of a few places but we have to trust the system. I woke up this morning very excited and started with some kefir to replenish some of the intestinal bacteria before my first meal. I'm now enjoying a nice cup of matcha tea with extra cream and a bit of bone broth protein (I swear it tastes like hot chocolate, yum!) and thinking about what my first proper meal will be. I still have some broth left so I was thinking of perhaps making some cream of mushroom soup and pretty much sticking to liquids today but the day is still young. Will keep you guys posted.
